re: What to make of the Pelicans 0-4 start?

Here is an interview with Gentry after the game:


Interviewer: Alvin, obviously you're not happy.

Gentry: Oh, we got our arse kicked. We got our arse... kicked. It was sickening. We have several plays on offense and first several plays we turn the ball over, one for a dunk, another one that is going to set up a dunk. We got players who can't hang on to the ball... they out-hustled us, they out-toughed us. We stunk today. Not even close between that basketball team and our basketball team. Not even close. Ridiculous.

We have players injured, one who had his knee blown out. Couldn't play anybody. We stunk. Just stunk.

Interviewer: How about injuries...

Gentry: shite, we're down in everything. We don't have enough people right now. It'll be hard to practice this week.. effectively.

Interviewer: Do you take into account at all that Davis...

Gentry: I don't take into account shite! The only thing I take into account is that they kicked our arse today. That's what I take into account.

Interviewer: How'd Ish Smith look?

Gentry: Smith? Let me tell you something about Smith. He looked pretty good right? The Wizards cut him before he came to camp. Looked pretty good for us. Maybe that shows the difference between other teams and us. What do you think about that? Pretty good indication, huh? They won't even bring him to camp... shite... he looks like a star of the day for the Pelicans.

Interviewer: Alvin, was the effort there today?

Gentry: Eh, it was alright. You know, Gee takes the ball inside and gets a little hit and blows the lay-up. shite, I don't know if it's effort or not. It's horseshite basketball, I know that. horseshite.















Okay, I made that up... it was actually Jim Mora talking about the Saints.
